[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ACPS is a joke. Its superintendent doesn't even send his kids there.[/quote]

People, we have gone over this repeatedly.  He pulled his daughter because she was being bullied.  The situation wasn't remedied despite an awful lot of effort made by the school and her parents.  He made a tough choice.  I respect his choice because he could have forced her to tough it out so that it would make his life easier.  He didn't do that and I respect that as a Dad.

Now people will fight back.  Bullies?  Here in Alexandria?  Nah, we don't have any of that.

[b]In which case I will direct your attention to the OpenACPS Facebook page.  Yeah.  We definitely have bullies.  If you don't look at that and then conclude we have bullies, then we have an extreme disconnect in understanding what a bully is.  [/b]

Use the search feature on this thread and look for the terms ACPS, Maury and MacArthur.  Even with all the redacting and reporting of inappropriate content it is painfully obvious that we have a bully problem in Alexandria and it isn't only in the schools.  Kids learn their bully behavior at home and they bring it to school.[/quote]

You must be new to town and ACPS.  These issues didn't just start in March of 2020.  Ever hear of PTAC?  Apparently you have if you are searching for Maury and MacArthur.

I'm not an openACPS fan for a number of reasons but a facebook group that can't seem to do anything other than get yard signs made is not the source of the parent on parent bullying problems in the city.  Again, these things were happening well before the schools were closed.

And yes, the Hutchings Hypocrisy has been gone over repeatedly.  You may want to ignore it but the fact remains that he shamed parents for keeping their kids IN ACPS and quietly pulled his own.  He shamed parents for doing what was best for their kids and never apologized when he did the same for his own.  THAT is the issue.  Avoiding it in your post doesn't make it any less true.  [/quote]
